A Record Breaking Year of Telephone Expansion DECEMBER will mark I he completion of the largest telephone constru? 'ion program ever undertaken in t he South. Ne,w telephone buildings, additional central office equipment, vast quantities of .u rial and underground cable and hundreds of miles ?>f long distance circuits , have been installed to keep pace with the growth of the South. 1 Much of this work has he n unseen and unknown to telephone users, but the service has continued without interruption during its progress. Telephone service, as a whole, is now better and more valuable than ever before. It is interesting to know that the largest part of ! this expansion cost, which totals practically $135,000,000, wxis paid for1 from new capital provided by investors who expect a reasonable return on their money. You see, they, too, believe in the South. This State has enjoyed substantial share of thin investment, and the telephone workers share your pride in this material progress. They have been greatly encouraged by your interest and co-operation. MORGAN II.

Miss Mradle>, a graduate of Texas University, is a stenographer in the office of l?an M oody, state attorney general and govei nor-eleet of Texas. Her actions Saturday, as charged by authorities, Were spectacular, ranging authorities claim, from Hound Hock, a village twenty miles north of Austin, to Huda, fifteen miles south, where a slip of a girl, posing as a newspaper woman, held up F. A. Jamison, cashier, and Raymond Howi, bookkeeper, of the Farmers' National Hank, and escaped with $1,000. She was taken in custody here last night by Sheriff George Allen, of Hays county, in which Buda is located. Sheriff Allen today sketched the alleged activities of Miss Bradley. She told him the story last night, he said, as he was taking her by automobile from Austin to San Marcos, county seat of Hays county. "She went to Round Rock Saturday morning in a flivver," Allen said. "As she had been there several times recently, Tom Nelson, president of the Farmers' State Bank, took the number of her automobile. "She left there and passed through Austin going on to Buda. "In Buda she went to the bank, and passing as a newspaper woman, got behind the cage on the pretext of borrowing a typewriter. Then at the point of a pistol she held up the cashier and bookkeeper. She took $1,000 in $"> Hills and locked the two men in the vault, expressing the hope that they could get enough fresh air, and took the back road to Austin. "Reaching Austin she put her car on a wash rack. She was with her mother about 2 o'clock for a short time. Some time during the afternoon she wrapped up $010 of the money, the .32 caliber automatic pistol, and mailed the package to herself at Austin in care of University Station. "At 5:10 o'clock she returned to the wash rack and was arrested, taken to the police station, and docketed. "Miss Bradley had no idea she was suspected until she went for her machine at the wash rack. She was identified at the police by the victims of the robbery, Jamisbn and Hoke. She then was placed in my custody. "On the way to San Marcos, she told me the story. She said she had no tears to shed; that she had a lot to live down but that she did not have as much to live down as 'those saps in the bank Avho let a bit of a girl get away like that.' " John Gofer, Jr., youthful Austin lawyer, engaged as Miss Bradley's attorney last night, took immediate steps for the release of his client, but it was not until after f> o\ lock this morning that legal entanglement's were surmounted and the young woman freed on bond. She had been in jail since 0 o'clock last night. Sheriff Allen turned over to Hays county authorities the package containing the currency and pistol which Miss Bradley had addressed to herself and mailed. The complaint agains'. Miss Bradley was filed by B. (i. Neighbors, Hays county attorney, and charges "robbery with firearms" which i- a capital offense in Texas.
